Things To Do

Hudson, N.Y. is the cultural, artisanal, artistic capital of the Hudson Valley, where historic architecture and words like "craft" and "small batch" are always tossed around. Before New York City's traveling hipsters discovered (and relocated to) this town on the banks of the Hudson River, Hudson had a long history. From whaling and a trade port city in the 18th century to brick firing in the 19th century, and industrial plants of the 20th, Hudson's economy has long been rooted in the trade of the Hudson River. Like many Hudson River towns, the city went through a rapid decline for many years, before being "rediscovered" over the last three decades and reinvented to become a cultural haven many miles north of New York City. Here are some of our favorite things to do in the area:

Wander Warren Street

136 Warren Street, Hudson, NY 12534

The main artery of Hudson is its picturesque Warren Street, which runs for a mile, flanked with colorful, historic buildings. It has been the main commercial avenue since the 18th century. Today Warren Street is known for its vibrant mom-and-pop storefronts, charming restaurants, dozens of art galleries, and antique stores.

Brewery Tour

Hudson is known for its tasty breweries for all hops lovers. Our favorite local breweries include Hudson Valley Brewery, Two Way Brewing Co, Retrun Brewing, and Upper Depot Brewing. Come thirsty -- leavy happy!

Walk the Greenport Conservation Area

319 Joslen Blvd, Hudson, NY 12534

Walking distance from downtown Hudson sits the Greenport Conservation Area, a 736-acre site with seven miles of trails. The protected area is a wonderful spot for locals and visitors to weave back and forth on the trails that open up to stunning views of the Hudson River and the Catskill Mountains.

Visit the Olana State Historic Site

5720 NY-9G, Hudson, NY 12534

The Hudson River was the inspiration for a mid-19th-century American art movement of landscape painters known as the Hudson River School. One of the most famous of these landscape artists was Frederic Church. His former home is in Hudson, NY, and today, it is possible to take a tour of the stunning building and its grounds.
